Yeah, yeah, uh-huh

Well I'm tired of the pressure

So tired of the pace

Just wanna grab you baby

And get out of this place

I got no chance of making it

Working downtown

Just walking slow and talking low

And tired of going down, down, down



Start the car, we gotta move

This ain't no living, this ain't no groove

It's been a long hard road

Come on baby (ooh baby)

Let's drive it home

Start the car



We started out for paradise

But this ain't no promised land

This ain't no kind of living for an honest working man

Well there's people dying on the streets

Sure don't make the news, ooh yeah

While others living up on the hill

Singing the white boy blues



Whoa, start the car, we gotta move

This ain't no living (no living)

This ain't no groove

The city's rich, or dirt poor

But somewhere waiting (ooh yeah)

There's something more

Start the car



[ Solo ]



Well we're going out with dignity

We're going out with style

Gonna lay down that hammer baby

Make our own road across the miles

'Cause I can't take this town one more day



Whoa, start the car, we gotta move

This ain't no living (no living)

This ain't no groove

The city's rich, or dirt poor

But somewhere waiting (somewhere waiting)

There's gotta be something more



Start the car, yeah

It's been a long hard road

Well come on baby, let's drive it home

Start the car



Ooh, start the car

Ooh, start the car

Ooh, start the car

Mabeline, why can't you be true

Start the car
